The Metropolitan Magazine works hard to spotlight the "Best in Eastern Shore Living."

The dedicated staff strives each month to produce a magazine of exceptional quality — one that creates community pride among readers and highlights services offered by local businesses.

Eighteen years ago, the magazine was created by owners Doug and Carol Naarup in a one-room office and was only 28 pages. Today, with an average of 180 pages, the magazine is produced in a fantastic, contemporary space in a three – story building on the historic downtown plaza in Salisbury, Md.

The Metropolitan is still locally owned and operated by the Naarups and its staff is always focused on exceptional client service. This philosophy — getting to know each business and each owner — is still the key ingredient toThe Metropolitan Magazine's continued success.
